' 1 The Athletic Attic offers footwear suitable for every sport DTH Charlotte Cannon In sports, always put your best shoe forward By KATHY WILSON Staff Write Choosing the right athletic shoes today can be a compli cated and expensive chore. Through extensive research and experimentation, doctors and sport specialists have concluded that ath letes may avoid serious injuries by wearing footwear specially designed for individual sports. Dr. Matthew Troxler, a podiatrist at the Carrboro-Chapel Hill Foot Clinic, said it is necessary to have a different athletic shoe for each sport in which an athlete participates. lt's very important to pick a shoe that's compatible to your sport," Troxler said. Each sport uses different foot movements that require shoes with varying areas of support. For exam ple, runners need shoes designed to accommodate heel to toe motions, while tennis shoes support lateral movements. Aerobics, which involve up and down motions, require an entirely different shoe. Injury to the feet and ankles may not be completely avoided by wear ing proper footwear, but many injuries may be less severe if athletes wear shoes designed for their sports. Troxler said. Troxler said the most common injuries to runners are shin splints. 1987-1988 Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Lecture Women, Indians, Animals and the Land" Dr. Vine Deloria, Jr. Professor of Political Science and Law The University of Arizona 8 p.m., January 13, 19S8 Hanes Art Center Auditorium University of North Carolina Sponsored by Chancellor Christopher C.

Ankle sprains are common in tennis, as well as in basketball. For aerobics, inflammatory problems can be a hazard because the impact on the feet is much greater than in any other sport. Specialized footwear may help minimize these common injuries. Overextensions, torn ligaments and broken bones arc three types of ankle injuries which plague athletes and could be prevented, Troxler said. Michelle Stolzcnbeig, manager ol the Athletic Attic in University Mall, agreed on the need for special shoes for each sport. She stressed that shock absor bency, which varies greatly fiom shoe to shoe, is an impottant factor to look for when buying sports shoes. Troxler said athletes shouldn't buy inexpensive shoes. Marc Davis, a trainer for the UNC men's basketball team, strongly recommends hightop shoes for basketball players. He said that technology has made them more comfortable, and they help prevent common ankle injuries. Nike has developed an athletic shoe that is suitable for several dif fcicnt spoits. The Nike Cross Tiainci and the Air Trainer were designed for athletes who like to play a little bit of all sports. Nike adxcitiscs that both shoes have lat eral, up and down and foward motion support. The difference between the two shoes is that the Air 1 ianci has an air mid-sole that jnu cases the shock absoibcncy value. Davis said he thought the spe cialty shoe market was satutated, and the imiHi-purposc shoe was good lor the weekend athlete. nun nr3 7 Hungry for a copy shop that caters to your odd hours?

State women, themselves saddled with a 5-7 overall mark and an 0-3 record in the ACC. The Wolfpack started slowly but came on strong at the ends of both halves to post a 72-63 win, giving State its first conference victory of the season and left North Carolina winless in the ACC and dropping the Tar Heels to a .500 record overall. North Carolina was without the services of freshman point guard Tanya Lamb, who was recently declared academically ineligible, according to UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell. At the onset it appeared that North Carolina might break it open early. The Tar Heel women cruised to a 12 4 advantage with 15:04 remaining in the half behind balanced scoring from the likes of Tia Poindexter, Chryss Watts, Marsha Matthews and Kathy Wilson, each of whom managed at least one basket. Watts finished with a game-high 21 points. Wilson had 15 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Poindexter had 13 points and eight boards. The Wolfpack was led by Krista Kilburn's 21 points. N.C.

From there, Yow regularly substituted in groups of five, and the resulting 14-point run over the weary Tar Heels made the score 34-23, Wolfpack, with 4:37 remaining. "State really used good strategy with their platooning," Hatchell said. "One group would play the one against us and the other, man-toman. We knew what we were in for when the groups came in but we still couldn't execute successfully.'" State then proceeded into the half with a 40-29 lead. "We really gave a tremendous effort in the first half," Yow said. "We made the decision to go with the platoon system only yesterday and it really increased our intensity. I thought we did a really good job considering we had only one day to work on it." With 12:17 left in the second half, North Carolina crept to within 49 43 on Watts' 16-foot jumper. State then allowed UNC back into the game by starting a period of down town shooting, never working the ball inside. North Carolina took advantage of numerous opportunies and drew within 55-53 on a Watts jumper with S:52 remaining. After an easy basket by Kellie Kennedy cut the lead to 57 55, Yow was forced to use a time out with 6:40 left. The Wolfpack lead remained within five until freshman guard Nicole Lehmann nai ' the crushing blow, a three-pointer wu 2:43 left to make the score 67-61. State then outscored the w inded Tar Heels down the final stretch 5-2 to make the final margin 72-63. "1 thought the girls did well in coming back like thev did in the second half," Hatchell said. "We really worked hard, but we c.me up a bit short. That thrce-pointc; the girl from State (Lehmann) hit really hurt us." UNC appeared heavily under manned and clearly seemed to run out of gas at the end of the second half, but Hatchell disagreed. "We just couldnt hit the shots down the stretch we had to make," Hatchell said. "I really don't think we ran out of gas." f I Spring Break '88 BAHAMA BOUND . iTouis-1 8DAYS7K!GHTS (tort Price includes: ROUND TRIP AIR.BOAT FARE FROM MIAMI OR FT LAUDERDALE ROUND TRIP TRANSFERS TO YOUR MOTEL BEACH OR NEAR BEACH ACCOMMODATIONS ALL TAXES.
